In a program that was probably first broadcast in 1969 or 1970, Bennett Tarshish presents the works of six 20th Century Swedish composers. The program begins with a piece of electronic music by Jan Morthenson, entitled “Neutron Star”. Next, is a work scored for soprano and chamber ensemble called “Landscape of Dreams” by Maurice Karkoff. This is followed by an electro-acoustic work by Jan Bark, called “Bar”, on which the composer plays all the instruments as well as providing all electronic manipulation. All three of these works are from a Phono Suecia LP (PS 2). The program then continues with two works by Bengt Hambræus, first is “Fresque Sonore” for instrumental ensemble and electronic tape followed by an orchestral work entitled “Transfiguration”. Both these recordings have been taken from the Swedish Society Discofil LP (SLT 33181). Next is “Altisonans” by Karl Birger Blomdahl a musique concrète piece featuring bird songs, and finally the electronic work “1/1967: Nya släpkoppel med vida världen, besök, äventyr, lindringar, etc.’ by Bengt Emil Johnson, both of which are from the Sveriges Radios Förlag LP (SR-67-LP-1032).
